Dude what you say would have more value if you didn't create this identity just to say it. If you have been a lurker say so and be specific, this board is nothing if not fair and they do their detective work.

I would like to point out though when I was well represented it didn't matter what *anyone* said to me I was loyal to my agent I never (ok one time) direct booked and I never listened to the thousands of other agents because even though my agent was making average $600 commission $400 agent fee and $200 rent (weekly)I knew they were taking care of getting me work, and they would follow up if some one didn't pay me. and at the end of the day no matter how much we love what we do we all need the money.
